¡Here Comes the BOOM!

This is my explosion team. I've had quite a lot of success with it, so i was wondering what you thought of it, and how i could improve it.

Azelf @ Focus Sash
HP4/Atk252/Spe252
Jolly Nature

Stealth Rock
Taunt
Reflect
Explosion

My awesome lead =D. He has never failed me; EVER. He's taken out uncountable Salamences/Swamperts, and weakened so many T-Tars. Taunt shuts down DD-Dos and all SR leads, because of his immense speed, out running everything, even Adamant Weavile.
Reflect gives him some durabiltiy as I set up SR and then Explode on anything stupid enough to stay in.

Metagross @ Choice Band
HP252/Atk252/Def4
Adamant Nature

Bullet Punch
Earthquake
Thunderpunch
Explosion

Follows up Azelf's Explosion on weakened T-Tars/Random Steels/Focus Sash Users with bullet punch, and Kills SkarmBliss with Thunderpunch. His Explosion kills EVERYTHING. Trust me. I've tried ;) He is also my last hope against Scizor and Weavile if they beat down Cune. EQ 2KO's Scizor who are cocky enough to stay in, and make short work of Magnezone-Magnet Rise.

Forretress @ Leftovers
Hp244/Atk74/Def192
Impish Nature

Toxic Spikes
Earthquake
Rapid Spin
Explosion

My Metagross counter, and definatly the best I've ever used;nothing even scratches him! Plus his explosion leaves almost everything KO'd/in BP range for Metagross. He also KO's Tentacruel who switch in a lot more than you'd think into his rapid spins and TS, so I KO them with EQ.

Snorlax @ Chesto Berry
HP252/Atk163/Def95
Adamant Nature

Earthquake
Return
Rest
Selfdestruct

No-one ever expects this guy to have SD, so they usually switch in walls like Suicune/Milotic, and they get blown out of the water =D He's also really good when I fight Ubers, surviving Lati@s/Mew2's attacks, then hitting back with an almightily powerful STAB SD.
My only problem is he's meant to be my Spcl Wall, and choice spec users suck as Alakazam and heatra rip him to shreds. HELP HERE :(

Gengar @ Life Orb
Atk76/Spe252/SpA182
Lonely Nature

Focus Blast
Thunderbolt
Shadow Ball
Explosion

My designated 'Blissey Killer'. They never expect the explosion ;) Also, he kills Swampert and Gyarados, who I often have problems with, and Magnezone too. My problem here is He doesn't quite have to fire power to KO things with Explosion, and often not in Metagross's BP range :(

Suicune @ Chioce Scarf
HP48/Def192/Spe68/SpA200
Bold Nature

Surf
Ice Beam
Hidden Power (Electiric)
Shadow Ball

My Dragon slayer, and also makes a suprisingly good sweeper at the end, when I've burned holes in the opposing walls. Shadow ball KO's Starmie who feutily hit me with T-Bolts, and makes short work of Gengar too. HP electric takes care of most Empoleon and Gyarados.

I use this team in Uber a lot, with A LOT of success, beating them most of the time. I'd like some pointers in Uber too, if possible.
 
Where is Suicunes moveset? And Garchomp is Uber. Add longer descriptions, a mod is going to close this soon. I will rate it if you have descriptions. And ScarfCune doesn't have the power to be a revenge killer. Replace it with the Pokemon of my signature.
 
Explosion teams are quite uncommon but ghost types are. Although I have never used an explosion team once the opponent catches on they are presumably going to keep their ghost alive. Why not have a makeshift "Explosion Sweep" at the end while removing ghosts (and other normal resists) in the beginning? However, this would require a complete restructure and I'm not in a team-building mood...

Just an idea

Thanks, I've taken your advice, and I've replaced Rest on Snorlax with Crunch for those ghosts, because now he can take out Rocks, Steels and now ghosts, all of whom resist Explosion, and I was always keener to Explode him rather than heal him. Ty ;)
